Visualization and 3D-Interaction for Hyperthermia Treatment Planning

In regional hyperthermia extensive numerical simulations are required for optimizing individual cancer therapy treatments. To take full advantage of such simulations a therapy planning system is needed. In this paper we discuss a new hyperthermia planning system, focussing on its visualization and 3D-interaction functionality. Our software, called HyperPlan, assists the whole treatment planning process with state-of-the-art numerics and visual controlling techniques. Its exible design allows it to be used in both hyperthermia research and clinical practice.
